To me they epitomise the vulgar;the ignorant. They are misguided and full of bigotry and distain for even their own country men. And many are football holigans. These mindless thugs give the UK a very bad image.
But have every faith that decent people will not support them with their campaign of hate.

. . . Tony B-liar and his Merry Men got rid of Labour's left-wing element, destroyed the Militant Tendency and created New Labour -
the BNP should adopt the same approach by losing the extremists and change it's name to the English National Party, they would then get a lot more support . . .

The indigenous population see their culture subjugated and their rights eroded so they look for politicians who will reverse some of the changes of recent years. The two main political parties are barely distinguishable from each other so in frustration the hitherto silent majority look for a voice. The BNP has many shortcomings and a bad image; it does however offer a return to values that have been abandoned by post-war governments.
This country badly needs change and while UKIP offers the most viable alternative to the mainstream parties, I would not write off the BNP.

The BNP, despite their denials, are merely a bunch of racists. That is the driving force behind their success.
The problem is that none of the other three parties is offering a solution to the immigration "problem", yet every day, everywhere I go, whatever the topic of conversation it ALWAYS gets to the immigration issue.
It is about time that the major parties came to terms with this and realised that, if they do NOT tackle it, it is going to drive the stupid and the disaffected into the arms of the BNP.
You only need to realise that The Sun and The Mirror are the top newspapers and that people actually WATCH Big Brother to realise how stupid many of the voters in the UK are.
The BNP will never be a major player, but locally they could easily have power in local authorities which will be a disaster.

They `ARE` gaining more members every month (and not all of these are so-called football hooligans! or drug takers!).
People are getting sick of this and past governments not doing anything about the influx of immigration into this small country.
Crime is still a big problem in this country as with drugs and guns.
Labour, Conservatives, and Lib-Dems are preaching what they would do if they were in power..............
The Torys failed, and the Labour Party have also failed in their promise to clean this country up.
So it`s no wonder that people are turning their backs and deciding to vote for the BNP.
(and I don`t vote for the BNP, but.........................)

I think it's benefitting from the fragmenting of public opinion and the inceasing discontent at the way we're being governed by a party whihc only won 35% of the vote in the last election.
I think it's benefitting from the hysteria surrounding terrorism which has killed 52 people in the UK in the last 5 years - or about the same number per YEAR as are killed per DAY in road accidents.
I think it's benefitting from media-whipped hysteria about the number of immigrants coming into this country.
But it's so tiny that it needs more than momentum. At the last election it won fewer than 200,000 votes: behind the Greens, and a long way behind UKIP. That's not even 5 times as many votes as were won by Kilroy-Silk's orange ego.

The main reason the BNP is gathering strength is that the other parties are such a load of incompetant tax mad prats with no concern for the native British.

Yes and I hope it continues to gain support and momentum. Wish we had party like BNP in USA.

They are unfit to hold public office. Their only support is in areas where there is racial tension, much of it built up by them and a tabloid media that prints before it thinks. Their supporters, in fact their whole membership are thugs and morons, whose only agenda is publicity and local power. The few councillors who have been voted in seem to have made little difference in their local areas. Personally I would disbar them from standing as, a councillor once elected, is supposed to represent the views and interests of all of their electorate which, they clearly are unable to do.

I am not a supporter either, at all, but believe they are gaining because of the perceived immigration increase. The problem seems to be though is that no-one knows the real figures or can raise real right or wrong arguments...at least without causing offence to one part of society or another.

They are getting more support because people feel they are being forced to extremes to protect their way of life. Its the way the Nazis got to power in Germany. It has nothing to do with football by the way
